SATAPATHY Order No. ORDER(ORAL) : 13.05.2026 01. 1. Since these three bail applications arise out of one and same case record, the same are heard together and disposed of by this common order with the consent of the learned counsel for the parties. 2. These are bail applications U/S.483 of BNSS by the petitioners for grant of bail in connection with Angul P.S. Case No.1182 of 2025 corresponding to G.R. Case No.2729 of 2025 pending in the file of learned SDJM, Angul, being charge sheeted for commission of offences punishable U/Ss. 296/ 126(2)/ 109(1)/ 117(2)/ 351(2)/ 118(2)/ 111(3)/ 111(4)/ 111(5)/ 115(2)/ 61(1)/ 249(b) of BNS r/w.Sec.25(1)(a)/ 25(6)/ 25(7) of Arms Act, on the main allegation of attempting to the life of one Bhabani Sankar Pradhan by assaulting and firing at him, along with co-accused persons by entering into conspiracy with each p. 2 other and thereby, causing penetrative wound injuries to said Bhabani Sankar Pradhan. 3. Heard, Mr. Arijeet Mishra, learned counsel for the petitioners in BLAPL Nos. 4366 & 4374 of 2026, Mr. Gouri Mohan Rath, learned counsel for the petitioner in BLAPL No. 4396 of 2026 and Mr. C. Mohanty, learned Addl. PP in these matters and perused the record. 4. After having considered the rival submissions upon perusal of record, there appears some dispute between two groups of people regarding throwing of dirty water from the bus, but the main allegation for firing the injured is directed against co-accused Bapi @ Mahesh Nayak who is not before this Court in the bail application and the allegation against these three petitioners is for participating in the quarrel and assaulting the injured by other means. Besides, the petitioners are in custody since 17.12.2025. In view of the aforesaid facts and circumstances and taking into consideration the nature and gravity of the offences alleged against the petitioners vis-à-vis the accusations sought to be brought against them and taking into account the role as alleged against the petitioners and keeping in view the other circumstances on record in entirety including the inherent right of the accused to be presumed innocent until proven guilty at the trial, this Court without expressing any view on merit, admits each of the petitioners to bail. 5. Hence, these three bail applications of the petitioners namely Lipu @ Dharmananda Mallick (BLAPL No. 4366 of 2026); Happy @ Manas Ranjan Mallick (BLAPL p. 3 No. 4374 of 2026) and Dillip Kumar Mallick @ Malik (BLAPL No. 4396 of 2026) stand allowed and the petitioners are allowed to go on bail on furnishing bail bonds of Rs.50,000/- (Rupees Fifty Thousand) each with two solvent sureties for the like amount to the satisfaction of the learned Court in seisin of the case on such terms and conditions as deem fit and proper by it. 6.
